Region:
Cascais and Sintra (UNESCO Heritage) offer some of the best sea-side bathing and water sports in Portugal, depending on the type of beach you choose. More or less exposure to the Atlantic Ocean means more or less crowded beaches and different water sports. We recommend the coast along Estoril for sheltered beaches and from Cascais / Guincho to Praia das Macas for wilder conditions. In Quinta da Marinha, you'll have access to an 18-hole championship golf course (by Robert Trent Jones) and close by, the Oitavos Golf Course (by Arthur Hills), the 18-hole course included in the 100 best courses in the world. In September 2011, Oitavos Dunes jumped 20 places to be considered the 68th best course in the world and the second best in continental Europe. In the resort, you have also 10 short tennis (two synthetic grass & eight in clay), 3 short padel, 3 squash/racquetball courts, sauna, gym, indoor swimming pool, restaurants and the Marinha Equestrian Centre, considered one of the largest and most well-equipped of the Iberian Peninsula.

Just an amazing week that was ever-so-slightly let down by some of the facilities. ie the the outdoor furniture as pictured no longer exists, so (when we arrived) there were zero options for shade outdoors. The manager ran into town and picked up a parasol for us, but for a group of nine, this essentially left the outdoor space unusable during the hottest hours of the day, which was a real shame. The pool filtration system was a little iffy when we arrived, but again the manager responded quickly and fixed it. Unfortunately it seemed to be slowing down again by our last day. Honestly, the opposite area needs a little TLC. Everything indoors was very well cleaned and presented, and the location is stunning. It is an easy jaunt into local towns for supplies and entertainment, including the town of Cascais, and the National Park and Palace at Sintra. If there is just a little investment in recreating the outdoor space as shown, and ensuring the pool mechanics are in tip-top condition, I would be back every year.

Good afternoon Brian.
First of all thanks for taking the time out to leave us a 4* star review - your comments are really appreciated and taken seriously.
As you know this area is extremely windy and famous for its surfing beaches. There is the same problem with all the houses in this area with shade. The guests leave them up in windy conditions and the wind breaks them, so the owners are constantly replacing them throughout the season. Its too windy for awnings at the property as well, they said so they have to just keep replacing the parasolls.
Its a really well maintained property and the owners take pride in this. If you are looking at booking in the future I can also personally make sure that we contact the owner before your arrival to ensure there are enough parasols and that any issues you have mentioned have all been dealt with as I completely agree that this is one of the most important features for a villa holiday.
Once again thanks for your comments and hopefully look forward to welcoming you back next year!
Best
Ian

Magnifique villa mais qui manque d’entretien
La villa offre une vue imprenable sur l’océan, c’est à couper le souffle. La taille de la villa est parfaite jusque 12 personnes. Elle est spacieuse et chacun dispose de sa salle de bain privée. Par contre la villa manque considérablement d’entretien: aucun jacuzzi ne fonctionne, le sèche linge ne fonctionnait pas, le four micro-onde non plus, le robinet de la cuisine cassé, le portail ne fonctionnait pas non plus ce qui nous empêchait de rentrer les voitures dans la propriété… et j’en passe ! La propreté également est à revoir, les vitres étaient vraiment très sales, les douches comportaient des moisissures, pas d’aspirateur à disposition donc pour un séjour d’une semaine les crasses se sont accumulées et pas moyen de nettoyer (la seule brosse disponible était aussi cassée). Bref nous ne sommes pas difficiles donc le séjour n’a pas été affecté par autant d’imperfections mais clairement la villa devrait être remise à neuf !

Villa Zen is a big house and frequently rented. I can assure you that we have people working inside and outside at all times. If something doesn't work, clients should contact you/us immediately and not "suffer" during the stay.
I have asked for feedback from the operations and there are points that we don't need their feedback as they are known in the commercial dep.:
1. jacuzzi - our listings don't mention it on purpose so that clients don't expect baths with jacuzzi. It's been years that they are off, so no complaint should be filed
2. windows - they are not dirty but double glass that don't open, and inside there are stains impossible to get rid of - it's due to humidity. Only replacing the windows would make them like "clean".
----------------------------
Now the operations responses:
I start by informing that customers during their stay did not file any complaints.
1. "The dryer doesn't work", I don't know if they are referring to a hair dryer or a tumble dryer.... The tumble dryer works, hairdryer, there are several in the house. I usually check it when checking out. However, it can happen that some stop working.
2. Kitchen faucet, is working in the various positions it has.
3. Gate, the engine broke down but has already been replaced. However, due to the weight of the gate, with the years it has, in the area where it is located (a lot of humidity), the floor gave way, bending the gutter where it runs and preventing it from opening. A new gutter had to be ordered (made to measure), it will be taken care of during the next week. However, there is plenty of space outside, allowing customers to park next to the gate and wall. I explained the situation to them when checking in.
4. The showers are mold free... However, I checked at check out that we need to replace some shower curtains.
5. A vacuum cleaner was purchased during the season, and it is working, it is kept in the pantry. There is also a broom, shovel, bucket and mop. If the broom broke, I had been informed and would have been replaced immediately.
At all check-ins, in addition to showing them the houses in detail, I always reinforce when I say goodbye, to contact me whenever they want, questions, information, a breakdown, etc..
